Prince Charles broke Princess Diana’s heart with this comment… and it’s what caused their marriage to go ‘down the drain’
Princess Diana described this moment as when she 'closed off' from the marriage
WHEN Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially separated in 1996, there was plenty of speculation about what had caused their controversial split.
But it now appears that there was one moment that marked the beginning of the end for the couple... and it was all down to a passing comment made by Prince Charles.
But this wasn't the only heart-breaking comment Prince Charles made during his first marriage.
Prince Charles also commented on how his youngest son had "even got red hair" - something which ran in Princess Diana's side of the family.
Although Diana described to Andrew Morton that Prince Harry was a "miracle" and "a complete joy" who helped her see through "total darkness", she revealed his birth marked the beginning of her marriage to Charles going "down the drain".
But not only this, Diana found that "something inside me closed off" as a result of the hurtful comments and the couple split just a few years later.
In more Princess Diana news, this is the reason why Lady Di had a secret second wedding dress... and it was lot less extravagant.
Plus, this is why Princess Diana' sapphire engagement ring was SO controversial at the time.
And the limited-edition Princess Diana Beanie Baby is being sold for £25k on eBay... but how much are they really worth?
